This small, round fruit basket was woven in natural wicker. It is 3/4″ wide and 7/16″ high. The handle is 1/2″ tall, making the basket about 1″ tall overall. (20mm wide and 11mm high, plus 14mm tall handle)
As usual, the trim braid and handle gave me a bit of trouble, but I still like this little basket. I think the light color sets off the contents nicely (in this case small styrofoam balls colored to look like lemons and oranges.) I have since worked out a thinner braid to trim the small baskets, and I will try that on the next version of this basket.
I think this basket would make a sweet little Easter basket as well, and I will try it in a pastel color someday… The list of baskets I want to make grows longer!
